Best Head Gasket Kit
#3
I've bought the full kit from Atlantic British and I've piece-mealed it from Rockauto during a closeout. So far I haven't seen to much of a difference. How you install the parts is as important. Cheap stuff can be made to work if you take care when installing, expensive parts can be ruined if you're not paying attention. At this point I don't think there's too much out there that won't work in a 70 year old Buick engine. As for longevity, that's not really the strong suit for these engines anyway so chances are you'll "be back in there" at some point anyway. I honestly haven't noticed too much difference between a top shelf gasket kit and a DIY collection from a parts house. Use the right sealants where required, and don't use them "as extra insurance" when not required, and you should be ok.

Thank you, that's helpful to know re: cleaning and going slow.
I have been looking at this kit (cheaper) https://www.roversnorth.com/parts/pl...er_discovery_i
And here's the quote from Atlantic British:

Just generally wise words for any projects one undertakes in life. Took some years to fully understand this.
